Update. There is now a Special:Map which when passed API parameters can construct a map from the corresponding API request. This would give us the opportunity to create maps around existing data. This would support a Nearby map view.
See this link for more: http://wikimaps-ext.wmflabs.org/wiki/Making_maps_via_the_API
All of this is very prototypal and can be removed if there is no need. I plan to get this off Github and on to Gerrit sometime next week.

Yep, but that Limn is dying slowly. If we do this new extension properly, it will take its place. As Erik said, this is not staffed for success right now but it would address many shared needs. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
